Continuing professional development
The information on these CPD pages is applicable to qualified physiotherapists in all contexts (including returners), physiotherapy assistants and student physiotherapists.
The section is organised to provide you with a range of ideas and supporting material to help you meet your CPD needs. If you are unsure what you want, have a look at the list of key questions further down this page to guide you through the resources available.
Alternatively, use links in the left-hand side navigation menu to find information on a specific topic. The list includes essential information on portfolio keeping, reflective practice, competence issues, personal development plans and formal and informal learning opportunities. Links to useful CPD support including the CSP outcomes model, portfolio guide, workshops, and support networks can also be accessed via the side menu.
We also welcome your feedback on the CPD contents of this site, so please email us and let us know what you think.
